The children have been working hard to explore narrative verse, using their knowledge of poetry and literary techniques to delve deep into Kaye Umansky’s text, ‘The Bogeymen and the Trolls Next Door’. Soon the children will be completing their own story writing task using the main characters… bogeys and trolls. The children need to be thinking of a song they can include in their writing as well as comical elements to entertain their reader. Let’s hope the children can publish their final writing pieces onto Pobble too!

In Mathematics, the children are working hard to develop their number skills. They have impressed me greatly with their multiplication and division work. This week we have explored Roman numerals so far and it has been great to see all of the children challenge their thinking. Soon we will be exploring fractions and linking this to our division work.

The children’s Come and See learning has explored the importance of belonging to a community and the work within our parish community of St. Mary’s. There has been some thoughtful and insightful work produced and the children have showed their understanding of joining together as a community and how to help others.

In Topic, the children have been developing their scientific thinking by exploring animals and their habitats. This has also been linked to their Outdoor Learning. A huge well done to the children who have created their own biomes for display in class. These are providing lots of discussion opportunities and look great in our Science area.
